Anyone ever make a Post selling something on craigslist, posting ALL relevant Info, and still have people ask you the same stuff you listed in your post numerous times?
Example FS: black Ferragammo shoes SZ 10 NEW 100$
randominternetcustomer@gmail sends
What size are your Ferragammos?
ARRRRRGGGHHH read the damn post!!!!! Send him his answer then.
Randominternetcustomer@gmail sends
What color? How Much?
Did you not read anything or are you just trying to hustle me?
Or do you need to double check info on shoes your ass wont even buy.
Someone else who experiences this tell me how to deal.

IF you want to sell your stuff you should be able to put up with inane questions. It happens in real stores too.

Happens quite alot. I once got a PM asking whether an item I was selling was still available even though my post had the word "SOLD" at the very top of the post, both in bold print and large font size. WTF?

In general, it is best to ignore the stupidity and politely answer their questions because they are a potential buyer.

craigslist is the worst place to sell things, but an excellent place to buy them. flakers are always expected and you can always lowball them after yall get to the meeting location 1 min away from your house and 30min away for them.

It also happens with certain sellers, too. Yes, even here on SF. One seller in particular seems to pride himself on rarely including the garment's labelled size, instead providing only some measurements. No problem; I found a piece I liked, replied, and requested the label size. This boor responded by telling me that the size was posted, but he did not include what it was on his reply. Again, no problem; I politely replied informing him that he might want to check his listing because the label size was not included, and could he please reply and tell me what it is. Well, you can already guess his respnse; he again responded stating that he posted the label size, and again purposefully did not tell me the size. You might also be able to guess what my next reply said. That item is still for sale. The a88hole should choke on it.

different shipping address than paypal, if it isnt included in paypal note... this is okay if i am not selling much, but if i am moving 10+ items, it gets confusing

I've sold a few things on CL, mainly old electronics and tickets, never had a problem. I know I'm going to get lowballed so I price it in.
